Former Seattle SuperSonics player and six-time NBA All-Star Shawn Kemp has been arrested in connection to a drive-by shooting near the Tacoma Mall in Washington.
Kemp, 53, was booked into Pierce County Jail on Wednesday afternoon and held on a felony charge, according to booking records obtained by USA TODAY Sports.
Tacoma Police said “an altercation between the occupants of 2 cars led to shots being fired at a parking lot” shortly before 2 p.m. local time. “One car fled. No injuries were reported. A gun was recovered,” the department said in a press release shared on Twitter.
Kemp was drafted out of Trinity Valley Community College by the Seattle SuperSonics with the 17th overall pick of the 1989 NBA draft. He played eight seasons in Seattle and made stops with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Portland Trail Blazers and Orlando Magic during his 14-year career.

Kemp’s on-court play was marred by several run-ins with the law. He was arrested in 2005 in Shoreline, Washington, on drug possession charges after he was found with cocaine, marijuana and a semiautomatic pistol during a traffic stop. He was arrested again in 2006 in Houston, Texas, for possession of marijuana.
